Commands for WebTV Chat
Each command begins with a slash character (/) at the beginning of the line, and you just type them into the same text field at the bottom of the chat screen.
/join coolness
Command to join the existing channel #coolness. Note with this command, you do not enter the # before the channel name. If the channel did not exist before, by joining it you will create it and also have ops on that channel. You can only be on one channel at a time.
/who
This gives you the nicknames of people in the current channel only, with some information about them.
Hello everybody!
Once you join a channel, you can speak to everybody on the channel by typing any line without a leading slash character. Everybody else will see "your_nick> Hello everybody!"
/me is a pink bunny.
Everybody in the channel sees "* your_nick is a pink bunny." This is called an action.
/whois jack
You get some information about that jack, such as "jack is jk1@some.host.name." If jack is also a WebTV user, the answer will not include the hostname, just whether or not he is on-line at the moment.
/msg jack text
Sends a private message to jack only. This is sometimes called "whispering" since nobody else can hear you except jack.

Ignores all messages from jack, such as if he is annoying you.
/topic Dalmatians are spotted.
Sets the channel topic to "Dalmatians are spotted." - but note that not all channels allow anybody to change the topic.
